Description
- The invention relates to novel odorants derived from campholenic aldehyde. In particular these are compounds of the general formula in which R1 to R7 are, independently, H, methyl or ethyl, R8+R9 represent methylene (-CH2-) or a single bond, or R1+R2 represent -(CH2)n-, with n being 3 or 4, or R3+R5 or R5+R7 represent methylene or a single bond; and the presence of at least one cyclopropane ring in the molecule is compulsory and the side chain can be saturated or contains one double bond in position α,β or β,γ.
- The novel compounds I may be obtained by a process comprising
- a) mono- or dicyclopropanating a compound of formulae or or
- b) reducing a compound of formulae in a manner known per se, and, if desired, hydrogenating any double bond present in the compound I thereby obtained.
-
- Possible routes to these novel compounds I starting from campholenic aldehyde and passing through the compounds II-IV are outlined in reaction schemes 1 and 2 hereafter.
- The scheme 2 also shows a preferred route to the intermediate compound IV.
-
- As shown in these schemes, the route from the known intermediates makes use of known chemical transformations. These are:
- a) aldol condensation, effecting elongation of the side chain, e.g. by reacting campholenic aldehyde with the reactant R2CH2C(O)R1 under basic conditions, e.g. using any organic or inorganic base,
- b) Wittig-Horner alkenation of aldehydes and ketones using phosphoranes or phosphonates, e.g. triethylphosphonoacetate,
- c) reduction of carboxylic esters to alcohols, e.g. using hydrides, e.g. LiAlH4 in ether solvents,
- d) reduction of carbonyl groups to saturated and unsaturated alcohols, e.g. using hydrides, e.g. borohydrides, e.g. NaBH4 in alkanols,
- e) cyclopropanation of C=C double bonds via methylene transfer, e.g. according to Simmon-Smith, e.g. using CH2X2, X being I or Br, and a metal (e.g. zinc-copper or zinc-silver) couple or diethylzinc or trialkyl aluminium etc., optionally in the presence of an activator such as acetyl bromide, TiCl4 or ultrasound,
- f) cyclopropanation by formation of and reductive dehalogenation of 1,1-dihalocyclopropanes, e.g. with CHX3 (X=Cl,Br) and a base, conveniently under phase transfer conditions, or with an alkali metal salt or an alkyl ester of trichloroacetic acid and at elevated temperatures, followed by a reduction using, e.g. an alkali metal e.g. in THF or in ethanol, -steps e) and f) lead to mono- and dicyclopropanated products depending on the reaction conditions and the relative reactivity of the C=C double bonds of IIa-,
- g) cyclopropanation of C=C double bonds of α,β-enones using ylides, e.g. using dimethylsulfonium or dimethyloxosulfonium methylide with or without solvent (e.g. THF, CH2Cl2, DMS),
- h) deconjugation or deconjugative alkylation of α,β,-enones, e.g. by providing first basic conditions, then reacting with R3X (X = Cl, Br, I) or H+, or, in the case of deconjugation, using an acid, or metal based catalysts,
- i) conjugated addition of organometallics to α,β-enones, leading to β-substituted carbonyl compounds, e.g. by the couple MeMgBr/CuI, conveniently in an ether as solvent,
- j) reduction of α,β- or β,γ-enones to saturated alcohols, e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation, such as H2/Pt, using any inert organic solvent,
- k) protection of the aldehyde function, e.g. as a dioxolane, before cyclopropanation,
- l) deprotection of the aldehyde function following cyclopropanation, e.g. using a strong acid, such as HCl/SiO2,
- m) protection and deprotection of the alcohol function, preferably in steps e) and f), e.g. as esters, ethers, silyl ethers, etc., see Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, T. Greene, P.G.M. Wuts, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, 1991.

- Campholenic aldehyde is a most important starting material for the synthesis of synthetic odorants exhibiting the odour profile of sandalwood oil (see, e.g. USP 4052341, 4696766).
- No campholenic aldehyde derived cyclopentylbutanols or pentanols bearing a cyclopropane ring have however been published up to now.
- Adding one or two such cyclopropane rings on campholenic aldehyde derivatives modifies in particular the odour and substantivity (i.e. persistence of the odour) of the new derivatives. The new alcohols of the general formula I exhibit various woody odour aspects; most of them exert a sandalwood odour, but some are also just woody/amber-like.
- Among the novel compounds, [1-methyl-2-(1,2,2-trimethyl-bicyclo-[3.1.0]hex-3-ylmethyl)cyclopropyl]methanol has the most natural, the strongest and most persistent sandalwood odour, superior to any existing synthetic (commercial) raw materials exhibiting sandalwood odour. All four stereoisomers of this compound contribute to its overall natural creamy, flowery, woody odour, but one of the (3"R)-diastereomers was found to constitute the main odour vector, approximatively 34 times more powerful than the second strongest among the synthesized stereoisomers.
- The new cyclopropanated carbonyl compounds 1, 3, 4 as well as the new derivatives of the general formula IIb (with R4=Me) exhibit also useful olfactory properties, their odour belonging also to the amber/woody/sandalwood family of odours.
- The present invention thus comprises also the compounds I, IIb, 3, 4 and their use as odorants, and a process to prepare compounds I.
- The olfactory properties of the novel compounds harmonize with a multitude of natural or synthetic products widely used in compositions, in particular for generating middle and bottom notes, since the novel compounds are endowed with very good tenacity.
- The compounds I harmonize particularly well with all floral notes, in particular with rose, iris, jasmine, ylang-ylang and narcissus notes. They also harmonize with balsamic or resinous dry-out notes such as styrax, incense, and benzoin, and woody notes, such as oak moss or tree moss, patchouli and vetiver.
- They thus provide most distinguished mixtures with a multitude of natural and synthetic raw materials.
-
- natural products, such as, for example, tree moss absolute, basil oil, tropical fruit oils (such as bergamot oil, mandarine oil, etc.), mastix absolute, myrtle oil, palmarosa oil, patchouli oil, petitgrain oil, wormwood oil, lavender oil, rose oil, jasmin oil or ylang-ylang oil;
- alcohols, such as farnesol, geraniol, linalool, nerol, phenylethyl alcohol, rhodinol, cinnamic alcohol, cis-3-hexenol, menthol, α-terpineol;

- The compounds I integrate into a multitude of compositions, e.g. oriental chypres, green and woody, floral leathers, fougère tobaccos and fruity aldehydes. They provide, via their olfactory note, exceptional richness and linkage between the dry-out constituents of the compositions by providing more volume, warmth and roundness and augmenting sandalwood and woody aspects.
- Except where otherwise stated, all the campholenic aldehyde derivatives used as intermediates in the following examples were obtained starting from a ∼1:2 mixture of (S)-(-) and (R)-(+) campholenic aldehyde, both enantiomers being -available from the suitable α-pinene. However, the general formula I should encompass both the pure isomers and mixtures of configurational, namely opticals isomers, see carbons (1',3',4',α,β,γ,δ) as well as the geometrical isomers (cis/trans isomerism), since all these isomers can be generated using the appropriate starting materials and synthetic methods.
- The structure of the compounds described in the examples has been proven by their IR, NMR and mass spectra. All of them are colourless oils.
